3:10 to Yuma

THE western seems to be making a comeback.

This month sees the release of James Mangold's 3:10 to Yuma and in the weeks to come we will have Pierce Brosnan in Seraphim Falls and Brad Pitt playing the leading role in The Assassination of Jesse James.

Meanwhile, to return to 3:10 to Yuma.

Here we have Christian Bale as a sheriff who is determined to bring killer Russell Crowe to justice - and to make sure he is on the train to the prison at Yuma.

It is interesting to see the working of the characters between the upright Bale and the villainous Crowe.

And it certainly shows - as will the next weeks - that the western is alive and well.
